Sharp Researches Solar Cell with 37.7% Conversion Rate

Japan's solar cell faucet Sharp released a press release on the 5th and announced that it has developed a Triple-Junction Compound Solar Cell (Cell) with the highest photoelectric conversion rate in the world, with a conversion rate of 37.7%.

Sharp said that compound solar cells are different from current mainstream solar cells that use germanium as a material, but use a compound composed of two or more elements such as indium as a material to form a photo-absorption layer with a high conversion rate. Solar cells are generally used in satellites, and Sharp plans to use this research and development to extend its use to aircraft or automobiles.

Since 2000, Sharp has been developing compound 3 junction solar cells with a light absorption layer stacking three layers (upper, middle, and bottom layers) to increase the conversion rate. After that, it successfully increased the conversion rate to 36.9% in 2011. It further increased to 37.7%.
